Change of address re mortgage application.

Hi all. Would my change of address affect my mortgage application negatively? We are hoping to apply for a mortgage in about 4 months' time and have lived in current address for the last 7 years. Or should we remain at current address (if able to) till the application ?
Thanks.

  • Not sure if it's correct, but my broker told me addresses weren't a problem as long as i declared them accurately and it matched what they found on my credit record, on the electoral roll, etc. I have moved house 4 times in 3 years (!) and just got my offer through no problems.
